TeamSpeak 6 maybe. Don’t know where they’re up to on it at the moment kinda lost the thread a while ago.
Brief lookup seems things are still selfhosted: https://github.com/teamspeak/teamspeak6-server
I don't know how often its updated though all things considered. I've been out of the 'clans' games for sometime and just easing myself back into things from those rose tinted glory days of Blueyonder Gaming, Barrysworld and Gamespy shenanigans.
First ever live voice over IP I used was Roger Wilco where I met the misses and spent the current 30 years messing around. Roger Wilco(Bought out by Gamespy), Ventrillo, mumble, ICQ, TS, TS3, Discord seems like we're coming full circle again 🥲. Ah the nostalgia.
Would Matrix be a good option? I think they have voice chat. There's a bunch of clients that you can pick from (Element, FluffyChat, etc) that seem pretty good
