Half duplex by itself doesn't hurt (depends in number of calls and etc really, but anyway...)
What is a killer for VOIP is duplex mismatch.
If you have autonegotiation enabled, and your peer (the switch ?) has autoneg off, and 100/Full-duplex hard coded, you WILL have a duplex mismatch.
And this is as per the spec

Rock on!

I am in half duplex mode:

serv01:~# ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
       Supported ports: [ MII ]
       Supported link modes:   10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
                               100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
                               1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full
       Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
       Advertised link modes:  10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
                               100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
                               1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full
       Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
       Speed: 100Mb/s
       Duplex: Half
       Port: Twisted Pair
       PHYAD: 1
       Transceiver: internal
       Auto-negotiation: on

       Wake-on: d
       Current message level: 0x000000ff (255)

This could help solve a lot of quality issues.
