All the drivers are available at the vendour's website.

But AC'97 chipset is recognised by all the distributions.

Sorry there are no drivers as such for AC'97 chipset so lets go over it again (the problem is i do not have susi so its all generic)
1. change dir to /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
2. Go to device drivers -> sound. Check that the support for alsa is enabled.
3. go to pci devices and select the line
<M> Intel/SiS/nVidia/AMD/ALi AC97 Controller
Thats it recompile the kernel Sound will work.
