Audio mixers are designed to NOT pass any constant DC signal. When you
initially applied the CV, you would hear a click and another when you
removed it.
You probably would not damage anything EXCEPT if you had some speakers
attached. The 5-10 volts of the CV is many many times larger than the usual
low-level audio signal and the initial transient passed through the mixer
( your "click" ) could be of sufficient amplitude to blow the tweeter in
your speaker or damage the amplifier.
It would be otherwise OK to try - just keep the levels down really low.
Mixers usually cut off around 10-20 Hz so anything higher than this ( a fast
LFO ) should go through OK.
