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-NOS-ko
ko-nos-ko is correct (the first example you gave)
"ko-no-s-ko" is closer. The /k/ (the sound of 'c' before 'a'/'o'/'u' is never silent in Spanish.
{ko-noTH-Ko}
I would say
Ko-noth- ko
