I found the thread to edit the. Xml and when I view the file in ES Explorer, I can see the entire file but when I click on edit it's like half of the file disappears. I can't edit the last part of the file because it's not there. Anyone have any suggestions?
I know lots of people like ES, but I found it pretty flakey. I really like FX:

and the root add-on:

Hasn't failed me yet, and it's the only file manager I've used that keeps the permissions correct when you edit and save a file.

I have a sprint g3 that is rooted. I tried to do the volume mod but ran into some problems. I did exactly what it said. I edited it with es file explorer. In your last section labeled speaker and headphone, there is no section on my g3. I went through the whole text file 3 times and there is no such section. I did find and change the other changes exactly as you specified. After I was done, I rebooted and it got stuck on the sprint boot screen. I took the battery out and tried starting back up but each time it gets stuck on the sprint boot screen. I did a battery pull 4 times and each time the same thing happens. Now when I do a battery pull and hold the power button, nothing happens, it doesn't even turn on. Please help.
Anyone have any suggestions on this??
I had to try to do a full wipe by reinstaling the OP through the LG website because I didn't have a custom recovery installed to back up. Somehow that didnt work and ended up bricking my device. I was within the warranty period so I just exchanged the phone. I would like to try the vol mod again (this time with twrp installed) but don't want to run into the same issues. Is there anyone that can help me with this? Thank you

I have flashable vol mods already. In the stock ZV4,ZV6 and all the Barrin Roms. They're in the op of each.
You can just pull them from the zip, place it, and make sure to FIX PERMISSIONS. That's why the bootloop. If you want to do it manually.

The first thing is to not save and reboot with an incomplete file. If you can't edit it fully, don't save it. I made the edits with FX, Linked above, and it didn't truncate the file. Finally, after editing and saving, double check that the permissions are 0644 / rw-r--r-- before rebooting.
Oh, and make a nandroid backup of your rom first, including the East partition, so if something goes wrong you can recover and make a copy of the original file, too.
Edit: Corrected the permission, in red, above.

This is a update. Just to refresh, I am on a sprint phone rooted with custom recovery, model # LGLS990, first off these are the only two files thats similar in system-etc mixer_paths_auxpcm.xml and mixer_paths.xml. Which mixer file do I use? I used the mixer_paths.xml. I found a file that someone had saved in another thread with the modified changes so I downloaded that file, moved it to my phone, copy and pasted it, overwrite the orignal file, then changed permissions and when it rebooted, I had no sound at all. PLEASE HELP

Thanks for the response. Could you link to the volume mods? I would really appreciate it. I just don't want to grab a wrong file thats not for my model device.
I noticed you said on the permissions rw-rw-r but in the Op of the vol mod (different thread), it said to use rw-r-r-
I am a little confused as to which permission to use??
If your on ZV6, then flash this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56990565
If on ZV4, then look in those threads. I'm on my phone so I can't multi-link.
Edit. Here for ZV4. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=54322264
And here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56234124 you'll need to pull the extras out that you don't want/need, from these though.

I'm on zv 4. I'm not sure what to do. Do I just pull the build prop out of the zip and use it like it is? Iclicked on your 2nd link and just downloaded the zip. I'm not sure what the first link is for. Sorry, but I just want to make sure I absolutely know what Im doing so I dont brick another g3. Thanks again for the help.

First off, be careful you do not take the ota. You will lose root and have to Flashtool back to zv4. There's threads on that.
I don't remember what's in the zips, but you can flash it all and it'll probably run better. If you just want the mixer_path.xml, delete the build prop, and any other file. Leave Meta and system/etc/mixer path.xml
Ok, thanks. So, I can just flash the entire zip then? Flashing the entire zip will probably make it run better then? Or do I need to pull apart the zip and just use the mixer file. The entire zip is for the stock rom then? Thanks for your help, havent done this in a few years so I'm a bit rusty. By the way, you said to leave meta, what is that file? If I'm just flashing the zip, I can do through recovery then?

Yes. Leave meta. Its part of what directs the file in the zip file where to go and gives permissions to replace existing files Etc.

OK. So I'm a bit confused too about what engine95 linked to. There are zips for final mixer path, and for extreme volume. Which one does the stereo effect? Having trouble reading some of the strings in the first post against the black background of Xda app

I flashed the mixer xml file. It worked but the speaker volume is still a little too low. How can I change the speaker volume to a little bit louder? Thanks
Which part do I need to edit to change just the speaker volume? Thanks in advance.
About mid file. It'll say "speaker". 70 is the Extreme version setting.
I went into path - speaker and to digital volume and changed the rx values (3 and 4) to 70 and rebooted and now I'm in a bootloop. It stays on the sprint logo screen. Please help.

Not 3 and 4. 1 and 2. I think I have them at 65. And your bootloop is because you didn't set permissions properly. You'll need to restore in TWRP if you made a backup. If you didn't, then it's Flashtool.
If you're still on zv4 why didn't/don't you just flash the extreme one I linked you to before?
OK thanks but the permissions were set correctly. rw-r-r
There is no 1 and 2 that I see. I have attached a screenshot.
