The STK1160 needs some time to transfer data from the AC97 registers into its own. On some systems reading the chip's own registers to soon will return wrong values. The "proper" way to handle this would be to poll STK1160_AC97CTL_0 after every read or write command until the command bit has been cleared, but this may not be worth the hassle.
