It is strange, but when I tried it with my headphones “Urbanears Plattan II BT”, connected to Xperia 10 II with SFOS 4.2, I heard ringing in headphones. I’m pretty sure that it was working even in my car (Škoda Rapid 2016).

It is little bit weird that sound was different from default Sailfish ringtone that I’m using. I’m not expert on A2DP and HSP/HFP profiles, but it is possible that ringtone is played by headphones itself and phone just signaling that someone is calling?

To dig this issue deeper, I would suggest you to try different headphones and try to modify flags in “ringtone” (?) group in /etc/pulse/xpolicy.conf file…

The thing is i only have one pair of headphones. :grinning:

Can someone test if possible and report their findings?
