Default AC Smell on startup

Hey guys,

On my 2004 Audi A4 Cabriolet, with only 15k miles,upon startup the AC spurts out a bit of an off smell, a little like BO or dampness. It only lasts for about 5secs and then immediatley clears up and no additional smells are noticable.

It's been like that since I first bought the car a few months ago and I just thought well maybe it's normal.. But now I'm wondering if it's not.. The car is in truly immaculate condition and other than these first 5secs the AC works absolutely perfectly..... Worth mentioning aswell is that I live in SW Florida, so its far more humid here than anywhere else. Though worth noting is that in all my other cars I've not noticed anystartup smells.

check your cabin filter for mold/mildew.

Is that somewhere easy for a noob to find? Or does it require a service tech..
