    They are available here. Click on 'Downloads' and go from there.

    Maybe you can go to the Device Manager to see whether there are any yellow question marks.

    Anyway,
    Device Driver - ALC655 (Onboard) - AMILO Pro V2055
    under 'Audio' for sound.

    As for Wireless, I'm guessing
    Gemtek WMIB-160GW(Broadcom)
    under 'WLAN'.

    It's not only WiFi drivers you are missing. Go back to the Device manager, 'right click' on the marked entries and choose 'Update Driver'. Allow Windows to connect to the Internet in order to find and install the Drivers.
