I'm using  Winsound Xv3.42/Csound 30.42 : 


------- test.orc -----------------------------------------------------

        sr              =               44100
        kr              =               441
        ksmps           =               100
        nchnls          =               2

instr 1

	iex1		=		0.00000000001
   	iex2		ipow		10, -12

 			print 		iex1
			print		iex2
endin

------- outputs -------------------------------------------------------

instr 1:  iex1 = 0.000
instr 1:  iex2 = 0.000

The sones-to-dB conversion formula needs 10^-12.
