I removed the expletive from your post.

You can check your Audacity version at Help > About Audacity.

Does the Firestudio record streaming audio except by feeding it the audio out?

Are you getting the 100% CPU when Audacity is closed? If so you need to ask Presonus about the problem.

If the problem only occurs when using or recording from Audacity, don't use any ASIO drivers. Audacity doesn't support ASIO drivers unless you compile Audacity yourself from source code to include ASIO support. You may be able to choose MME or WDM drivers somewhere in the Presonus. Normally it would be the correct thing to do to install the universal control/driver the manufacturer recommends, but if that forces an ASIO only driver, then Audacity won't work with it.

lets see....
100% cpu

let me name the ways

antivirus running
windoze doing its automatic indexing
explorer and a pdf file tripped over each others feet
some browser getting hosed by a bad script
and probably many more

antivirus *NOT* running and a bot is relaying spam
trojan has decided to send all your data to some guy in bulgaria
yada yada

It depends if the user can replicate that disconnecting the Presonus returns the CPU to normal, and whether Audacity is open at the same time when the problem happens.
