A question about the vocab 「解く」

Japanese
#1

Hello!

For some reason, even though the furigana reads as ほどく, I always hear とく when using the audio for this vocab. I know the word 解く when it reads とく, but I thought ほどく meant something different. I am, certainly, somewhat hard of hearing, so it might be me, but could you confirm the reading, please?

Thanks in advance.

toku appears to be more common, but they are both words. their most common meaning appears to be basically the same, but toku is a little more broad in how it can be interpreted (solve, etc)

Thank you! Do you hear “toku” or “hodoku” when using the audio here on BunPro?
