Enable or Disable Voice Chat (Mute All)

The voice_enable command allows you to very easily toggle whether or not voice communications are enabled. To mute all voice communications, type the following command into the console:

voice_enable 0

To re-enable/unmute voice chat, type this command into the console:

voice_enable 1

Change Voice Volume (Scale) Command

You can change the volume of voice communications with the voice_scale command. Simply specify a number between 0 and 1 after the command to specify how quiet or loud voices should be in relation to other sounds. 1 would be full volume, 0.2 would be 20% volume. This command would set voice volumes to max:

voice_scale 1

And this command would set voices at 50% volume:

voice_scale 0.5

Mute or Unmute Enemy Team Command

To mute just the enemy team, type the following command into the console:

cl_mute_enemy_team 1

Unmute the enemy team after having previously muted them with this command:
