I encourage you to try our VOIP features in our Windows client. We have done a lot of work for audio quality that differentiates with implementations that just embed WebRTC into there clients.
We don't automaticly boost microphones because we assume most gamers have good mouth microphone and not webcams, we optimize latency with more aggressive packet loss concealment settings and a jitter buffer alorithm that prioritizes latency, and we've tuned noise reduction and echo cancellation settings to make voice activation a good experience for most users out of the box.

Our philosophy is to start from the streamer. Twitch and curse joined forces to provide an amazing out-of-the-box desktop experience for our streamers and their fans. Of course this competes with other products, but we do not view it as a zero-sum game
We still have a long way to go to deliver that experience and we are actively looking at community feedback on our launch this month.
