In Lyrion you can set your player to obey RG tags or not. Mine is set to obey so it displays the tag value. If it was off it wouldn’t show.

There are 2 RG tags. One at track level and one for the entire album. Here I added the entire album to my queue so it’s using that.
 
PS You can choose not to display any of the technical information if you wish.

I‘ve never gotten my head around RG for albums. I consider it useful for compilations with different volume levels per track. But for an album?
Please consider this a question, not critisim, because I realy hardly know anything about RP.

If you weren’t playing anything at all then selected an album to play and stopped playing anything after then RG has no point. Album RG is for when you play an album immediately followed by another and so on. You won’t have to change overall volume.
 
This has made me wonder. Does WiiM playback via DLNA or attached USB support RG?

Got it, thanks. But doesn‘t that imply that your whole library needs to be scanned for dynamic levels in order to align RG values?
And, if this is so, how does this go together with RG on track level? Is this addative?

Yes. You need RG tags across your entire library. It’s not difficult to apply retrospectively (Foobar 2000) and configure CD Ripper to automatically add to new stuff. I use dbPoweramp to rip.
Some of the streaming services have RG tag info in their streams eg Qobuz do and LMS will use them also.
 
If you play a playlist containing tracks only then track RG is used.
Edit- should say that every track contains both a track RG tag and an album RG tag.
