I don't think that is due to plugins or addons.
Voice communication is taking net bandwidth and send all players.
Players get extra data, ping raise.



*edit
What is your server
sv_minrate & sv_maxrate ??

Because if you allow players use low rate, it easily increase ping.
Allow/force players use higher rate will decrease player ping. (depend your server bandwidth)

What codec were you using and what did you change it to? We were JUST talking about changing this to combat lag issues and I can't for the life of me remember how or where to do it.

You mean this ?

"sv_use_steam_voice" = "1"
 replicated
 - Enable/disable using Steam Voice instead of the old voice codec (if enabled, voice_inputfromfile will no longer function).

[jungjunghoo]

I thought this

"sv_voicecodec" = "vaudio_speex" - Specifies which voice codec DLL to use in a game. Set to the name of the DLL without the extension.

Yes, and it's really annoying. The clients get "Buffer overflow in net message."

I'm not sure if this still happens on the new codec or not, as my servers still use the old one.

New codec? lol i do not see changing codecs O.O, can u give me the cvar/comand to change from one to other codec and a list of codecs who i can use to test?

Buffer Overflow is realy anoyng (before update, after i can't check anything...)

Bacardi already mentioned it:

sv_use_steam_voice 1 // Use the newer Silk codec (default)
sv_use_steam_voice 0 // Use the older Speex codec

Although, this may only work in TF2... I'm not sure.
