Pronunciation of conozco

Hola,

Is "conozco" pronounced as "ko-no-s-ko" or "ko-no-so"?

According to the machine text-speech, the former is the case. However, I thought the z is added to preserved the original "k" sound of conocer in first person singular present tense -> conozco. So I need some help here.

"ko-no-s-ko" is closer. The /k/ (the sound of 'c' before 'a'/'o'/'u' is never silent in Spanish.
