The Behringer Xenyx 802 is a mixer, not a soundcard.

How so?

I think you mean the USB version which is more expensive (but just as shit).

Read it somewhere, might be wrong.

So what do you think Lexicon Alpha Studio USB Audio Interface?

My budget is 50 GBP

Or this?

I owned a cheap Lexicon soundcard (Lambda IIRC?) a few years ago for one of my laptops (PC). It was a step up from the one you're considering in terms of features and ins/outs, but the same basic specs otherwise, I believe. It was nothing to write home about, but it got the job done for portable use and was pretty stable.

Thank you for your reply. So basically with the Lexicon I gave in the link, will I be able to use Yamaha HS5s, a midi keyboard and headphones? Thats all I need for now.

Yamaha monitors and headphones will be fine, but you can't connect a MIDI keyboard to the Lexicon. Which keyboard do you have? Does it have a USB connection?

I don't have any yet, but I want to end up with something portable, like a 2-octave M-audio keyboard. Can't I buy a USB adapter to make it compatible with Lexicon's USB slot?

No, the Lexicon's USB port is to send audio to/from your computer. Not to worry, though. When you buy an M-Audio MIDI controller, it will have its own USB port that you'll connect directly to your computer. It doesn't connect to your soundcard.
