You'll have to use the snd_ctl* functions. To change the value of a mixer control, do something like this: snd_ctl_t *ctl; snd_ctl_elem_value_t *value; int onoff = 1; /* or 0 for off */ err = snd_ctl_open(&ctl, "default", 0); ... snd_ctl_elem_value_alloca(&value); ... snd_ctl_elem_value_set_interface(value, SND_CTL_ELEM_IFACE_MIXER); snd_ctl_elem_value_set_name(value, "xxxxx Capture Switch"); snd_ctl_elem_value_set_boolean(value, 0, onoff); err = snd_ctl_elem_write(ctl, value); ... snd_ctl_close(ctl); You have to use the correct name; the names of mixer controls can be seen in the output of "amixer controls". If your hardware has a single "Capture Source" control instead, you have to replace _set_boolean with _set_enumerated and use the correct index.
