Unclear Whether VOICE_STREAM_BASE_URL is still honoured, or the override has moved to another setting, is not stated.
What
Voice mode streams audio to a server. Claude Code used to check the environment variable VOICE_STREAM_BASE_URL directly to choose that server, and wrote a debug log line when it did. That direct check and its log line are gone. The address now comes from a separate lookup, and when that gives nothing, Claude Code uses its normal API address turned into a secure WebSocket (wss) address.
Why
If you point voice mode at your own endpoint with VOICE_STREAM_BASE_URL, check that it still connects where you expect.
