I don't think the oh323.conf settings are relevant.

I have found you sometimes need to generate ringing tone or other tones
using your dialplan entries, depending on how your are processing the
call. So if you want to ring for a couple of seconds before answering,
you could do:

[oh323-incoming]
exten => _X.,1,Ringing
exten => _X.,2,Playtones(ring)
exten => _X.,3,Wait(2)
exten => _X.,4,Answer
exten => _X.,5,...etc...

Or if you are ringing SIP phones, you could use the 'r' option for Dial:

[oh323-incoming]
exten => _X.,1,Playtones(ring)
exten => _X.,2,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN:-4},,r)
exten => _X.,3,Playtones(congestion)
exten => _X.,4,Congestion
exten => _X.,103,Playtones(busy)
exten => _X.,104,Busy

You might not need all the Playtones commands - experiment and see which
ones are necessary.

If that doesn't help, try posting the part of your extensions.conf that
deals with incoming calls from OH323.
