The console commands in the voice category are all related to the in-game voice comms in CS:GO. Commands here could lower the volume you hear other players at, mute them entirely and more.

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 Copy
To re-enable/unmute voice chat, type this command into the console:
voice_enable 1 Copy
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 Copy
And this command would set voices at 50% volume:
voice_scale 0.5 Copy
To mute just the enemy team, type the following command into the console:
cl_mute_enemy_team 1 Copy
Unmute the enemy team after having previously muted them with this command:
cl_mute_enemy_team 0 Copy
