The evidence is sparse, but not entirely lacking. As I said before, I am entirely against the idea of Pyrrha coming back to life - nothing would cheapen her death more. But there is some reason to think that she is not entirely gone and the show itself has made those suggestions. That "still-unexplained" incident was already explained witihn a few minutes. That voice was from the training video that Jaune was using No, Ruby's hearing of Pyrrha's voice and, specifically, her words remains unexplained. The relevant episode is volume 4, episdoe 2. Earlier in the episode, Ruby is awakened by Pyrhha's voice saying her final words to  Cinder, something that Ruby could not have heard. The second time, Pyrhha's voice is calling for Jaune with urgency and fear. That is not the voice in the video. It could be argued that Ruby's subconscious took Pyrrha's calm voice from the video and added the emotional elements to it and, if this were not a fantasy show, that would be a perfectly rational explanation. In this case, however, I suspect that is not what was happening. So, no, it was not "explained" in the way that you suggest; there remains a lot of room for doubt and for the possibility that Pyrrha continues to influence Jaune in some spiritual way.

Some other points: the words to the song "Forever Fall" contain the lyrics "this is infinite, nothing, not even death, can separate our souls." The song is told from Pyrrha's perspective and it may be foreshadowing or at least suggesting the kind of connection I am positing. A final thought: when Tyrian first meets Jaune, he is fascinated by something he sees in Jaune. We are meant to assume, I think, that he recognizes how powerful Jaune's aura is (this happens before Jaune unlocks his semblance) and is fascinated by this. But it may also be he senses something more about Jaune that is somehow related to Pyrrha. That is really speculative on my part, but I'll throw it out there.
