My radio was fine for a while [AM band only] and a week or so ago the #$% static started again. I suspect the rear window antenna and/or the amplifier located just above the window in the moulding. I'm going to try putting an antenna on the dashboard eliminating the OEM one. If that "cures" the issue I will post. The dealer wants to replace the radio for $400, you can guess what I said.

I have a 2008 Santa Fe Ltd. AWD with Infinity Radio & Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE). The exact problem you describe just emerged last week. Everything played fine on the way to work, but when I left work & started the car, there was NO sound. The radio, CD, RSE all played, at least the dials & readouts showed they were working & advancing, but no sound from any speaker. I turned the car on & off several times, with no effect. I pushed the "MUTE" button on & off with no effect. Interestingly, you can get sound from the wireless headphones for a movie on the RSE. Anyway, finally got it to the dealer & they said they had never seen that before, but decided the "head" unit must have gone bad, so ordered a new Infinity radio & replaced it this morning, & still no sound! OK, so they called the tech hotline after disassembling the car interior, carpet,etc. to check the wiring, & were told to replace the amplifier module. It has been ordered, so tomorrow they will replace that. Given previous posts, I have my doubts that sound will emerge, but we can only hope. Will let you know.
