Netgear M4300 QoS questions

Hi All,

TL;DR

Will a managed switch with factory default configuration perform QoS or treat all traffic as equal?

Long Version

We are using a pair Netgear M4300 switched for a Dante audio setup, one on stage, one in the control booth, connected with fibre.

Dante audio devices automatically tag their packets with DSCP for higher priority on the clock signal and audio.

Assuming my switches have zero configuration (factory default), will the switches accept the DSCP values and perform QoS automatically or will it treat all packets as equal?

We are likely to pass some traffic other than audio over this network at a later stage and I want to ensure the Dante audio is getting priority.
