Depends - directly to the TV or going through a stereo?

A y-cable is a Very Bad Thing (tm) IMHO.  I would use the 
output of the audigy.  It's probably a 1/8" jack.  Just get a 
1/8"-1/4" adapter and plug away.  It also depends on 
how the sound is being amplified - through the TV or through the 
stereo.  If you are lucky, you could even use some sort of 
digital connection from the audigy to the sound system...
