I have a Audigy card/9800PRO in my PC and i was looking to hook it up to TV.

Now the video part is easy since 9800PRO has S-Video out in addition to DVI-I (which i use for my monitor) but i am stumped as to how to connect to audio out puts to my PC and then have easy way to switch back and forth!

Your post is not clear. I think we need more details in order to formulate a useful answer. Are you connecting audio from the computer to the TV or vice-versa? How many different audio outputs are you trying to connect to the computer - if more than one, you will need an audio switch box from Radio Shack, etc. Or you could hook the sound from the tv to your A/V receiver (which has many input jacks) and use a line level output from there to your PC (tape output would work fine).

Sorry. I am looking to connect audio from my PC to my TV. But since my sound card supports only one audio out and that is already connceted to my PC speakers, i have no way to get sound from my PC to my TV. So essentially i am using my PC as audio source but need two out puts.

If you have a stereo or AV receiver, take the line out from the computer to an Aux input on the receiver. Then connect one Tape output to your TV input and another Tape output to your computer speakers. You could also use a splitter but that would reduce the level to both the tv and the speakers. What you really need is a one in - two out buffer amp so you wouldn't have any level drop, but I'd have no idea where to look for one. Maybe a place like JR Music and Computer world - http://www.jr.com . Perhaps if you have a headhphone out as well as a line out you could use both.
