If you look at the vertical scale on the track, it is showing "dB"
This is the "Waveform (dB)" view of the track.

regarding ASIO...

It's supported in audacity, but you have to build it yourself because of licensing issues around the ASIO SDK.

I found no way to get my M-Audio NRV10 to record all 10 channels without ASIO, but outside of that special situation you probably don't need it.
