While the game itself runs smoothly and I can watch the cutscenes using the bink player without problems, their ingame playback fails to produce sound every other second (quite periodically actually). What's the problem and how can I fix this?

As seen in this post on the Runic Games forums it's a known issue and quite a few people have a problem with it and the cause seems not known (yet), although a dev said he would look at the issue.
A first, possible solution is to turn down your
Shadows
setting. For some people this solves the problem. If this doesn't work, you can try to turn down other graphics such asBloom
(as mentioned by the OP) down aswell.If this doesn't solve the problem either (or for people playing Torchlight II on Linux in Wine and having sound issues) it can help to increase the program's priority.
In Windows this can be done by simply launching Torchlight II and looking up
torchlight2.exe
in theProcesses
tab of the Task Manager. Once you found the process, right-click it and selectSet priority > High
.In Linux this can be done by using the
nice
command to launch Torchlight II with Wine.
