Teamspeak isn't using the phone. It's TCP/IP.

You’re gonna need to unpack what you mean here because TCP/IP is the basis for pretty much everything, even modern phones

Phones, like landline phones or when you're not using wifi calling, use a totally different method of communication than the internet. VoIP and WiFi calling do not use the phone part, they use the internet and are a completely different protocol/method.

Shame the article was talking about a mobile phone or that point would have mattered...

Currently, all phone calls made over a cellular network are monophonic, meaning audio is compressed into a single channel

This bit from the article is what I am trying to convey. Teamspeak doesn't use whatever phones use when you make a phone call, even if it's a cell phone. Cell phones do not have to do this. They have the bandwidth for stereo phone calls and yet, so far, they still compress it into garbage unless you're using a VOIP app or Wifi calling on both ends.
