These headsets come with a volume limiter by default (in accordance with EU regulations).
You can go into Engine and turn this setting off.

- Go to the Engine tab
- Click on the product banner for the Arctis Nova 7
- On the bottom right-hand corner of the Audio tab, there will be a setting called "Volume limiter"
- Toggle it from "on" to "off"
- Click save, and you will notice an increase in the volume.
Our volumes are NO JOKE - Please use caution!
Important Notice:
- Please note that SteelSeries does not recommend disabling or bypassing the volume‑limit feature. That cap is there to help protect your hearing over time and to keep our products within required safety standards globally.
- If you choose to turn off, override, or otherwise remove this recommended volume limit, you’re doing it at your own risk. In other words: if you decide to crank things past the suggested levels, you’re taking full responsibility for whatever happens next – including, but not limited to, potential hearing damage, personal injury, or other issues related to long sessions at high volume.
- Think of it like going past the redline in a game: you can do it, but you’re knowingly pushing beyond the safe zone and owning the consequences.
