Cross not recognizing input signal

Cross 1.3.2
u46mk2 sound card
Audio technica at-lp120 direct drive turntables
Numark m3 mixer
mac osx
Often times I have to restart Cross about 10-15 times before it recognizes that the vinyl is spinning/recognize that there is an input signal. If I go into preferences it tells me there's no input signal. But then once in a while I will boot up Cross with the records spinning already and it'll recognize them right away.
Very frustrating as it happens very often.
Any idea what's going on here?
