A/C Stinks

Air conditioning stinks for a few seconds when I turn it on. Any suggestions?

Thanks. The new filter dam and the smell and I still noticed it. The smell only occurs the first few seconds and mostly when I turn the truck on (without shutting off the AC the last time I drove).

Seems like there’s mildew in the system.
