What's the best voice chat program? I have skype but when I am playing games I get alot of lag and when I use teamspeak I can't understand anyone. Thanks.
 
I haven't used any for a long while, but Roger Wilco worked really well for me a few years back. Didn't take much bandwidth either.

Teamspeak works great but there's a trick:

Do not use voice activation. Set it so you have to press a key to talk. Otherwise getting the sensitivity perfect is impossible. You'll either get tons of background noise (hear someone breathing), or you'll get parts of words chopped off.
 
What codec are you using with Teamspeak?
It's pretty flexible and some of the codecs sound better than phone quality. I've always used teamspeak without quality issues, except when some moron has his mic right next to his speaker and voice activation enabled and we get infinite reverb because he's playing the voicecomm right into the mic.

Personally my server is setup with Speex12.3, and it sounds great. But the default if you create a new channel is often some horrbile 5.x codec that sounds like ass. So if your admin doesn't have his server setup right, you might think TS totally sucks, when really it's just whoever is running the server (or whoever created the channel without selecting an appropriate codec)
