I dont get if its a key that i pressed that caused this or something else.

Can someone help me?

My headset is working, and the volume on tv is working too! Only the icon is missing.

Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Notification Area > Select which icons appear on the Taskbar

if this option is enabled and the Volume icon is still not showing then it is either some custom GUI software being used or the OS has an issue.

a few options to try;
wait until after the next Windows Update to see if it corrects itself,
try a sfc scan with the System Checker tool,
restore to a previous Restore Point when the icon still showed,
reinstall the OS.
