I have to admit that I have zero knowledge of how these things are
implemented. I can't find a datasheet for that codec anywhere.
However, looking at the ALC262 datasheet for instance, the block
diagram represents the boost function inside the codec itself.

I just tried : plugging a headset in the combo jack does not seem to
have any effect on the mic input. It seems that the mic on the headset
is not used, and that the internal microphone of the laptop is still
active.
